Among the proposals for this year include the course "How to deal with energy poverty", aimed to give guidance and advice to families in energy-saving measures that reduce the amount of gas and electricity bills, all aid in times of crisis.

The current environmental situation with climate change as a major player, among other issues of social concern, such as rural depopulation, pushes toward a new resizing of agriculture, local and more respectful of the environment and social. Something that contribute not only European agricultural policies, but also the consciousness of most workers in agriculture. In this sense, in Catalonia the number of hectares devoted to organic farming, as well as the number of projects related to it, but not easy for producers and students 'leap' to this type of agriculture or find structures where formed for this purpose.

For two days, this will develop experiences in agro-ecological projects, plus a training day on the fertility of the soil to obtain indigenous plant material.

    I find quite fascinating the attitude of people towards nature in these days, we all are changing our regular habits and our ways of production to find something more useful for both humans and nature, and the best way to reach this is by giving information and teaching people how to do it, so conferences and stuff like that are the most important thing now

    Now THIS is something I really want to get in on. I just started “farming” (by that I mean backyard gardening…although to a fairly large extent. We were quite ambitious with it) about 2 years ago. That was when we lived in Oregon and got great weather, but now we live in Southeast Alaska, and things have changed. I need some new regional information.
